Our current research projects are generally concerned with processes of successful development across adulthood and particularly with the specific developmental challenges in middle adulthood. We focus on motivational processes related to personal goals, values, and motives. One of the central areas of application is how adults manage the multiple demands of work and family.

Main research foci

• The role of goals for development
• Outcome versus process focus
• Managing work and family
